Wheel Alignment
Is your car pulling to one side? Are your tires showing uneven wear? These are common signs of wheel misalignment. At Burdick Auto Solutions in McKinney, TX, our experienced technicians are here to diagnose and correct wheel alignment issues, ensuring your vehicle drives safely, smoothly, and efficiently across North Texas.
What Is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting the angles of your wheels so they’re perfectly positioned relative to the road and to each other. Proper alignment maximizes tire life, improves handling, and helps your car drive straight and true. Poor alignment can cause uneven tire wear, affect steering performance, and lead to costly repairs.
There are three main factors involved in wheel alignment:
- Camber: The tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Incorrect camber can cause tire wear on one side.
- Caster: The angle of the steering axis viewed from the side of the vehicle. It’s crucial for steering stability and control.
- Toe: The direction the tires are pointed compared to the centerline of the vehicle. Proper toe alignment helps the car drive straight without pulling.
During an alignment service, our technicians use precision equipment to measure and adjust these angles to manufacturer specifications, helping your vehicle perform at its best.
Common Signs of Misaligned Wheels
- Vehicle pulls to the left or right
- Uneven or rapid tire wear (especially on edges)
- Steering wheel appears crooked while driving straight
- Unusual vibrations or shaking
How Often Should You Get a Wheel Alignment?
We generally recommend a wheel alignment once a year, 10,000 to 12,000 miles, or whenever you notice signs of misalignment. It’s also smart to check your alignment after hitting a pothole, curb, or after suspension work. Installing new tires? A fresh alignment can help maximize their life and performance.
